Tools and patterns for managing trading risk in autonomous agents.
- Position sizing: Max % of account per trade (recommend 5-20%)
- Leverage limits: Hard cap per strategy (recommend 3-5x)
- Mandatory stop-loss: Every trade must have SL before entry
- Circuit breakers: Auto-halt trading on drawdown thresholds
- Cooldown periods: Enforced rest after losing trades
- Asset whitelists: Only trade pre-approved assets
- Concurrent position limits: Prevent overexposure
